Look at it like this....a jury looked at all of the evidence for months. Both sides were able to object to certain evidence and they waded through all of the fake eyewitness accounts, recanted and/or amended statements and looked over multiple autopsy reports and individual findings and then ultimately they determined that the officer was innocent.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo... do people call for a retrial? Do they even go after the judge or the jury, trying to kill them or beat them up or whatever? Of all the things that they could possibly do to fight this "injustice" they decide that stealing some malt liquor and some Jordans is the best course of action.

This is the society we have created, people think free shit equals justice?

Naw son, people don't give no fuck about justice...all they know is greed, trust.

While I agree with the outcome, your understanding of how a Grand Jury and indictment work are completely off base.

There is no trial. A grand jury decides whether to indict (press charges) "for" the prosecutor (DA, typically) who has decided to defer to them in making that decision. There is no judge, trial, etc. This result is no different than a prosecutor choosing not to file any charges against a potential criminal. Not assumption of guilt or innocence - simply a decision that the evidence has not proven any laws were broken.

Nobody can go after the members of the grand jury as that is sealed permanently and cannot be released by anyone.

There is a separate, federal investigation that could result in charges.

But, just to prove I'm willing to play along: I'm not so sure that you actually know how the process works. Did you not know that throughout the process, several judges have been involved?

Let me just throw down a quick example for you:
http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/16/justic...on-grand-jury/

Again, if CNN doesn't cater to your preferred take on the truth, just Google: St. Louis County Judge Carolyn Whittington

or any of the other judges names who have been involved in the process.

But again, it goes back to my point... which is much more simplistic in nature...


Just because I don't want the actual point to be missed by anyone else...

Perpetuating a stereotype can never change peoples perceptions.

There are dozens of ways to actually make an impact on this situation but getting free weave and hdtvs ends up as the solution. I'm calling it what it is, greed tbh.

Cops target black youths because most of the time they are the ones committing the crimes, there's no disputing that. So how is going out and committing crimes going to change that perception? How is destroying your community going to prove you are a vital and contributing part of your community? lolololol


The family was right, police should all wear recording devices at all times.

You're the one arguing semantics, genius. When you said "go after the judge" you clearly inferred that the judge had some sort of influence on the outcome. A judge in a Grand Jury indictment does nothing but tell them the rules and make sure nobody fucks up during the testimony/discovery/etc. process. They are babysitters.

hahaha...unfathomable! That would be kinda like me saying that somebody got shot 12 times when there were only 6 bullet holes.

ok, replace "judge" with "police chief" for the sake of argument since there's nothing else to argue within my comments.
